TEAS Reading Questions

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D because the main argument of the essay is about technology potentially replacing printed material. This is supported by evidence and analysis throughout the essay. Choice A is incorrect as it focuses on the ease of reading devices rather than the main argument. Choice B is incorrect as it mentions a historical invention not directly related to the essay's argument. Choice C is incorrect as it discusses how people receive information rather than the potential replacement of printed material by technology.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C because the passage likely focuses on Queen Victoria's journey from an unlikely princess to becoming the queen of England. This choice directly addresses the content of the passage by highlighting the transformation of an ordinary individual into a significant historical figure. The other choices are incorrect as they do not align with the main focus of the passage. Choice A introduces a comparison with her forebears which is not the primary purpose. Choice B mentions the historical impact of the Victorian Era but does not specifically address Queen Victoria's personal journey. Choice D introduces a different topic related to King George III's sons, which is not the main focus of the passage about Queen Victoria.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D because it presents an exaggerated claim that students who did not study a foreign language often find themselves unable to obtain a job at all. This statement is too extreme as not studying a foreign language may limit job opportunities but does not necessarily make someone completely unemployable. Choices A, B, and C are not exaggerated claims - they are reasonable statements that support the importance of studying foreign languages for high school students.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Cobra. Cobras are at the top of the food chain and have no natural predators due to their venomous nature. Vultures (A) can be preyed upon by larger birds or animals, mongooses (C) are known to hunt snakes like cobras, and aardvarks (D) can be hunted by predators like lions or hyenas. Cobras are apex predators, so they do not have any natural predators in their ecosystem.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Raoul will expect to pay $9 for his computer use at the library because the question states that the library charges $1.50 per hour for computer use. If Raoul used the computer for 6 hours, the total cost would be 6 x $1.50 = $9. Choice B ($6) is incorrect because it assumes Raoul used the computer for 4 hours, which is not stated in the question. Choice C ($12) and D ($15) are incorrect as they do not match the calculation based on the given rate of $1.50 per hour for computer use.
